Joseph O'Brien's Seanbhothar was in touch when falling on his hurdling debut here in January and finished lame on his reappearance at Roscommon in August while stable companion Watch Guard ran well for a long way on his hurdling debut at Downpatrick. DECIMATION gave supporters of the long odds-on Queens Brook a real fright at Fairyhouse and with that under his belt will take some beating. Envious Editor moved to Gordon Elliott and produced a very good run at Listowel last month so better is expected while Mr Bercow landed a point in January before beaten when odds-on the following month. Optum looked one to follow when beaten a short-head over 2m at Thurles but didn't get home over 2m3f at Galway though that didn't look his form.
